Castle

School has begun again for me but Ezra is still enjoying some time off. Our neighbors went out of town recently and won’t be back till the end of the month. That’s totally fine, except when the internet died. We share, and they have the router so if something happens, they typically take care of it. Thankfully they were cool with our landlord letting us in to reset the router, and it’s all good now! Once the internet was back up I looked at my school stuff and freaked out thinking I had a paper due in two days. I absolutely panicked, thinking, how can I have a paper due on the fourth day of class?! Why is no one else flipping out about this? Then I realized the date was September 24th, not August 24th. Immensely relieved, my heart rate went back to normal and everything was cool the rest of the evening.

This past week Ezra and I have discovered a new TV show… Castle! Neither of us are really TV people. We don’t have any type of TV subscription, and we can’t even get over the air channels because our TV is too old. We DO however have an amazing blu-ray player that connects wirelessly to the internet, so when we “watch TV” it’s all through the internet on either our computer or the blu-ray player. Thus far we’ve made it through season 2, episode 8 of Castle, and we’ll probably watch some more tonight.

I recently was given the mystery collection at the Library to manage, so I’ve been trying to dig into that genre as much as I can. I’m in the midst of reading a couple mystery books, and watching Castle is a blast because it fits so well. I’ve read Frozen Heat and really enjoyed it, but didn’t realize that it was related to a TV show.

If you’re unaware, in the show, the main character is Richard Castle who is supposed to be a famous mystery writer. He follows around a New York detective for inspiration for a new series he’s writing. As a promotional tool, they’ve actually had “Richard Castle’s” books written. The real author is a complete secret, and everything is attributed to Richard Castle, who is just a fictional character. It’s really clever, and I love it!

That’s the main excitement for this week. Until next time!

Back to action

Now that classes are over, the wife and I are out of classes for a couple weeks we now have time to do some things that we haven't taken time to do.  We went up to Trafalga to play some put-put golf for a little date night followed by Malawi Pizza.

We were sad to not be able to go on vacation this summer, but this past week after I finished my final projects, we went out to eat pretty much each day this week. Saturday the 17th of August was the Indonesian Independence Day and we celebrated by making some Indo food and then on Sunday went to some friend's house for a party to eat and play games with others that served missions or were from Indonesia. It is interesting how much of a language that you haven't used in awhile comes back so easy.

School will come back too soon, actually Wednesday for Allison and two weeks from tomorrow for me.

Hopefully this fall we will have some more interesting adventures and be exciting.

Peace.
